Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Roundhill, KY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Roundhill to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
